New book charts the exile of Waterford's earliest entrepreneurs

LISTEN BACK: Waterford Merchants and their Families on Distant Shores is a new book by Dunmore East native Liam Murphy - it charts the history of the port of Waterford and the exodus of merchant families from Waterford at the time of Cromwell. This fascinating book also documents what became of the families with names such as Wyse, Comerford, Power and their offspring, some of whom became very famous! Liam tells Julie Smyth about it on the Hot Desk
